music, comics, and media in a rock'n' roll world

Upon reading the announcement of a new single from Boston’s War On Alexandria, I absent-mindedly favorited the track over on Spotify without even giving it a listen because what they’ve already accomplished with their small body of work thus far has instilled the kind of confidence to do just that. In fact! It’s that kind of blind trust I have in them that almost compelled me to compose this post solely on the merits of their previous work. But that wouldn’t be fair to them. Or you!

There are some artists out there that, regardless of hearing a note, when news of new music is announced then you just know it’s gonna be good. With only a few releases to their name so far, War On Alexandria is quickly becoming one of those bands and on their newest single, “Grip (The Heavy One)” they go beyond simply delivering on expectations.

Howzabout Fleetwood Mac meets Sap-era Alice In Chains as a musical combination that you never knew you needed to hear? Because on first listen to “Sleep Deprived” by Boston’s War On Alexandria, that’s exactly the kinds of vibes we’re feeling. Regardless of our first impressions, there’s no doubt that listening through the new Boston quartet’s debut single will give listeners all the feels in the best way possible.
